You'll be here -- in Austria and Germany!                    

Picture yourself during the nine days of spring break, February 24 to March 3, 2007, with a group of CSB/SJU first-year students learning about the rich culture of three great European cities -- Vienna, Salzburg and Munich.  You will also be able to check out our program site at the University of Salzburg, where you may decide to study during your junior year! In each city you will learn about the most important historical events and how three kinds of art and architecture -- the Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque -- reflect important intellectual and artistic movements in European history.  During this Study trip, you will also be learning survival phrases in German so that you can speak with native Austrians and Germans -- whether this is your first experience of German or you have studied the German language before.                   Quick Application Form
